History Videogame / FinalFantasyVII

* NPCRandomEncounterImmunity: Played straight. How did the people of Nibelheim get to the reactor to work? How do hermits (like the smith south of the Gold Saucer and the guy in the cave near Fort Condor) survive? Why do kids near the north pole have snowboards when all the slopes land you in high-level encounter land? Plants don't grow in Midgar, so who grows the food and transports it?

* {{Red Shirt}}s: In the original and CrisisCore, this role is filled by the Shinra army, who wear blue. In DirgeOfCerberus, the white-shirted WRO are the Red Shirts. The officers do however get the nifty red hats.

* DeadlyEnvironmentPrison: The prison camp is in the middle of a desert. You get there by being dumped down a chute from the Golden Saucer, and nobody bothers to guard the place because the desert is impassable. The other prisoners will all tell you that people who go into the desert don't come back. (However, to prevent the game from becoming {{unwinnable}}, if ''you'' wander out into the desert, first you get lost but after a while someone shows up with a chocobo stagecoach and takes you back to prison.)

* GotVolunteered: The party needs to get to Upper Junon and fortunately there's a high-voltage tower that they might be able to get to the top of, if only ''somebody'' is willing to risk taking a chance leaping with "Mr. Dolphin" to make sure that option will be alright.-->'''Tifa''': High voltage tower...... I guess this means Cloud'll be all right.-->'''Aeris''': Yeah, better leave it to Cloud!-->'''Red XIII''': We're counting on you, Cloud.-->'''Cloud''': Hey!! Wait a second!

* ClusterFBomb: Barret and Cid have a tendency to launch into these. The harsher curse words are censored, since this game has a "T" rating. Interestingly enough, the PC version was censored more than the PS1 version, with "hell" and "damn" censored too. Strangely, neither censors "shit!"

''Final Fantasy VII'' is the [[VideoGameLongRunners seventh entry]] in the [[RunningGag nerve-twistingly popular]] ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series. It's one of the most famous games of all time, as it helped extend console {{RPG}}s into the West's mainstream gamer community and was seen as the PlayStation's KillerApp in its battle against Sega and Nintendo. In 2013 it was released in downloadable form on Steam.

Squaresoft (now Creator/SquareEnix) published ''Final Fantasy VII'' on Sony's PlayStation console after a falling-out with Nintendo over the latter's extreme censorship policies (as well as a reported refusal to move away from the industry-standard ROM cartridge, which severely limited the scope of a game). Sony was more than willing to permit more "mature" content on its systems; coupled with the [[TechnologyMarchesOn then-impressive]] storage capacity of the CD-ROM format, this proved to be much more accommodating to Square's design philosophy than Nintendo's restrictions.
